The genre we choose for our opening sequence


 Me and my group have come up with what genre we want or opening sequence to be. We decided today and we had a good discussion on what genre to pick. We picked the one that we all felt comfortable with and the one that we saw most interesting. The genre we choose is thriller. We choose thriller because we believe that we can make a great opening sequence using this genre. Me and my group like the camera angles, mis-en-scene, editing, and the sound that is involved in thriller films. We already began on what our opening sequence should be about. We feel the audience of the opening sequence will love the thriller film. The examples of the thriller movies me and my group researches caught our eyes. So that is why we choose our opening sequence to be a thriller.

Furthermore, we also choose this genre because it gives the audience a happy medium between emotions. Horror might drive its audience away. But, a PG, family movie night might seem childish or not appeal to our target audience. Also, not only is thriller a medium between emotions, its also a medium between a horror movie, and an action in a way. It gives our group the versatility to perform cool stunts, while still creating suspenseful themes. We are very happy with our choice and believe this genre will fit our storyline perfectly. Our group feels that this genre gives us room to work with an area that we are interested, that keeps audience on edge. Another point about thriller is that it is unique enough to come up with new, innovative ideas. This is definitely something that our group will take into consideration. Overall, we are happy that we choose thriller as our genre!

 For the first movie that our group researches, we choose a thriller called "Death Wish". Here are some conventions that we found in the blog that we liked, did not like, and overall conventions that we should use in our film. Conventions that we liked: There was a lot of conventions used in this film that our group likes. To start, a lot of the angles used have underlining purposes. For example, the antagonist in this film are usually represented with low angles that shows them having power over another subject. To give the film a more modern feel, the costumes worn during the duration was more modern, causal clothing which is something that my group actually liked. Props were also fairly basic, hand guns were used through rising actions because they always give the audience a sense of fear, of suspense, which we liked. The natural lighting also gave the film a natural feel, it made the story more real which we also liked. Finally, all of the sound effects used in the film w...

 Today is March 7th and me and my group have worked on the music we will use in our film. I have already started the process of using the music in the film that will best fit for the certain scenes. At first, me and my group could not decide what music to use for the film. But me and my group searched different thrilling and establishing music and we found the ones me and my group like best. Me and my group will use establishing music for the beginning of the film. And my film will use thrilling music for climax and important events. Important events such as the kidnapper in our film escaping, and the vehicle driving off. The establishing music will take place for about the first 20-30 seconds of the film and get the film to establish a meaning and help the audience get interested.

 Conventions that we liked: There was a lot of conventions used in this film that our group likes. The angles and the clamps have their own purposes. We liked that the costumes because they were very casual since the movie takes place in a skyscraper. They were also props such as machine guns being shot, during the rising action of the movie.
